This footage shows Ahwazi Arab activists who gathered for a demonstration on the bank of the Karoon River, one of the main waterways in the region, to protest at the devastating effects of the Iranian regime’s systematic diversion of its waters to ethnically Persian areas of Iran.

Ahwazi Arab inhabitants who are living in the vicinity of marshes and wetlands, such as that of Hor-Al-Azim (which has dried up because of the actions of the Iranian oil companies), frequently release video clips that demonstrate the horrific surge of sand storms from the dried wetlands.

In this short film, Ahwazi Arab locals in the cities of Mohammareh and Abadan near the Iran-Iraq border in Iran talk about the horrendous suffering there, lamenting the medieval conditions of destitution, deprivation and medieval poverty, despite the Ahwaz region housing over 90 percent of the oil and gas wealth claimed by Iran.
